看3D電影會讓你變得更聰明?

Can 3D films make you SMARTER? Watching immersive movies could boost your brain power, study claims

Paying over the odds for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the bane of many a cinema-goer's life.

花高價買票看3D電影是許多電影院�？偷臒�惱之源。

But there may be a benefit to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.

但這樣做可能也會帶來好處。一項研究稱，3D電影可以鍛煉大腦，能像大腦訓(xùn)練測試那樣提高腦部短時間內(nèi)的機能。

The research found that people who watched a movie in 3D had improved cognitive skills compared to those who watched it in 2D.

該研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，相比那些看2D電影的人來說，觀看3D電影的人認(rèn)知能力得到了改善。

The research was led by neuroscientist Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London.

該項研究由倫敦大學(xué)金史密斯學(xué)院的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)科學(xué)家帕特里克·費根博士牽頭進(jìn)行。

More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6 in either standard format or RealD 3D.

100多個人參加了實驗，這些參與者不是觀看了迪斯尼公司出品的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)格式《超能陸戰(zhàn)隊》，就是觀看了RealD 3D的《超能陸戰(zhàn)隊》。

They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a segment from the film.

在觀看電影一小段的片段之前和之后，他們還分別進(jìn)行了類似腦部訓(xùn)練的測試。

The test covered memory, reaction times and cognitive function, and the results were subsequently compared.

測試內(nèi)容包括記憶力、反應(yīng)時間和認(rèn)知功能的測試，這些測試的結(jié)果隨后被用來進(jìn)行比較。

According to the research, which was carried out in partnership with science group Thrill Laboratory, participants experienced a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 per cent increase in reaction times.

該研究與科學(xué)小組興奮實驗室(Thrill Laboratory )合作進(jìn)行，發(fā)現(xiàn)研究參與者在認(rèn)知加工能力上提高了23%，反應(yīng)時間提高11%。

Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain power in the future.

費根博士指出，研究結(jié)果足以顯示大腦的功能得到了改善，因此在未來，3D可以在改善腦力方面發(fā)揮作用。

'These findings are more significant than you might think,' he said.

他說：“這些調(diào)查結(jié)果比你想象中的還更有意義。”

'It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a noticeable decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can impair future quality of life.

“事實上，如今人們的壽命變得更長了，但在老年的時候，大腦的認(rèn)知功能有了明顯的下降，這可能使得未來的生活質(zhì)量也隨之降低。”

'There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function.

“到目前為止，從未有過比這更好的一次機會，能夠研究如何改善大腦功能。”

'The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline.'

“這項研究的初步結(jié)果表明，3D電影或許可以在減緩這種衰退中發(fā)揮作用。”

A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets that scanned brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D.

實驗的第二部分中，那些觀看電影的參與者都帶上了耳機，可以掃描他們的腦部活動，結(jié)果同樣顯示在觀看3D電影時大腦活動加強。

According to the results, participants were seven per cent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life - something Professor Brendan Walker from Thrill Laboratory agreed with.

結(jié)果顯示，參與者比平時更專注于他們所觀看的電影，專注度增加了7%;支持了3D電影更像觀看真實場景的說法，而來自興奮實驗室的布倫丹·沃克教授也對此表示同意。

'A seven per cent rise in emotional engagement is extremely noteworthy. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,' he said.

“情感投入上增加7%是非常值得注意的一點。正如研究結(jié)果顯示的那樣，觀看3D電影會給觀眾帶來這種強化且優(yōu)質(zhì)的體驗，”他說道。

'In evolutionary terms, the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense,' Dr Fagan added.

“從進(jìn)化論的角度來說，兩部分測試的結(jié)果當(dāng)然都是很有意義的，”費根博士補充道。

'As Professor Brendan Walker's test concluded, 3D films are more immersive, heighten the senses and induce emotional arousal - this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds.'

“正如布倫丹·沃克(Brendan Walker )教授的測試得出的結(jié)論那樣，3D電影更能讓人身臨其境，強化感官感受，引起情感上的共鳴——而這，反過來又能促進(jìn)大腦快速運行。”
